Bloody Acquisitions

For the first time in this series I actually really liked this book. I am glad I stuck with it, although I love most of what I have read from Drew Hayes this series started quite horribly in my tastes. But I know that that author can be great and my brother loves this series so I stuck with it and I am glad.

Especially the new edition of Lillian was great and I loved her character from the very beginning. Though just this universe and basically all the characters in it are amazing and I am really starting to fall in love with them. As I did not have with the earlier novels I cannot wait to read the next one. Luckily there is plenty to consume in this series as I wait for the next Villains' Code novel. 

I confess myself surprised. This being the third foray into this world [a:Drew Hayes 268858 Drew Hayes https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1544587408p2/268858.jpg] could've just cruised on autopilot and I'm sure I would've been suitably entertained, however he chooses to go deeper. This installment explores the widening or deepening of Fred's character: who is he when it matters? what is it to really be brave? the nature of chosen family etc. and he approaches these themes with humor and generosity of spirit. I'm delighted to have been derailed by this series, and the narration by [a:Kirby Heyborne 2740918 Kirby Heyborne https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1361505917p2/2740918.jpg] continues to be perfect.
